From top liberal blogger and “Senior Fellow at Media Matters for America” Duncan Black, a.k.a. Atrios, commenting on President Bush before the debate:

I think someone asked in comments recently something along the lines of “Who are we going to see tonight? The angry frat boy or the retarded chimp.”

I think the answer is, “angry retarded chimp.”
-Atrios 9:58 PM

Black’s bio states that he “holds a PhD in economics from Brown University. He has held teaching and research positions at the London School of Economics; the Universit� catholique de Louvain; the University of California, Irvine; and, recently, Bryn Mawr College.”

No doubt the intellectually superior Black approves of the offensive anti-Bush Special Olympics poster.

Blogger Susan B. has more thoughts on the vile tactic of ridiculing disabled people to make cheap political points.

And here’s a positive story I wrote last Thanksgiving about young Americans who respect and value the lives of the disabled. They are an example to us all.
